FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ENDORSEMENT
FORMER NEW HAMPSHIRE STATE SENATE PRESIDENT ED DUPONT THINKS JOHN KASICH SHOULD BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
Dupont to serve as a New Hampshire State Co-Chair for Kasich for America
Today,
former New Hampshire State Senate President Ed Dupont endorsed Ohio
Governor John Kasich for President, saying “John Kasich is the
Republican who will win the White House in 2016." Dupont will
serve as
a New Hampshire State Co-Chair of Kasich’s campaign.
“John Kasich is exactly the leader America needs right now.
Having
served five terms as a State Senator, I know a successful Governor when
I see one, and Governor Kasich is a successful Governor. He
turned
Ohio around. He cut taxes, balanced budgets, found innovative
ways to
make government work better, and returned power to citizens. With
his
skills, experience, and vision, imagine what John Kasich can accomplish
in the Oval Office,” said Dupont.
Ed Dupont is President of the Dupont Group and is a former five term
State Senator who also served as President of the New Hampshire State
Senate. He is a former Chair of the University System of New
Hampshire
Board of Trustees and served on the Board of Directors of UNH School of
Law. Dupont received the New England Board of Higher Education
2014
David C. Knapp Award for Trusteeship in recognition of his years of
exceptional leadership on behalf of higher education.
Said Kasich, “I am thrilled to welcome aboard Ed Dupont to our New Hampshire team and I’m grateful for his confidence in our campaign. Ed was a smart, effective legislator, he remains deeply involved and influential in state government and politics, and he values the importance of good government as much as I do. With the addition of Ed to our New Hampshire operation, our already solid New Hampshire team instantly becomes even stronger."
Gov. Kasich is running for President to help Americans restore our nation, live in safety and pass on prosperity to those who come after us—and he’s got the experience to help us do it. He was reelected last year by a 30-point margin after working with his fellow Ohioans to turn an $8 billion shortfall into a $2 billion surplus, cut taxes $5 billion and create 350,000 jobs. As chair of the Budget Committee in Congress he led the effort to balance the federal budget for the first time in a generation and served 18 years on the House Armed Services Committee where he helped enact President Reagan's national security agenda. He has also had a successful career as an investment banker, New York Times best-selling author and at FOX News. He and his wife Karen have twin teenage daughters and live in their home outside Columbus.
